Beta CrossfireX driver has been leaked

And two 790GX2 cards worked in XP, quad SLI.

Or am I missing something?

Thats nVidia. This is ATI.

 

[Monkeynut]

I know that. So if nVidia can do it why not ATi?

That's quite a loose usage of the term 'worked' to be honest.

I think it is only AFR that doesn't work with more than 2 GPU's in XP, the other modes can, but are slower and inefficient.

I could be talking bobbins tho.

I confirm these drivers work with 2x3870X2's

Even crysis shows a good improvement... I just scored 71fps in the standard bench.

Not tried anything else yet, games wise.
